Beware of that Firewire port!

There is a new technique that allows an attacker to unlock a Windows
machine or login without a password. This vulnerability also affects
OS X. Right now the hack currently requires a Linux laptop, but it
could conceivably make its way to modified iPods.

To protect yourself you’ll need to disable Firewire in your PC BIOS, or
on the Mac you will need to set the Open Firmware password.
